These earphones were great for the slopes, but they stopped working after a short period of time. It was either one earphones or the other cutting out. Thank God for the great return policy. |

cute but run really small
03-03-08 ![]() |
These shorts are really cute, but they run really small. I usually wear a medium in most bottoms, so that's what I ordered. When they arrived the medium wouldn't fit over my butt! My best guess is a medium is about a size 4. Too bad because I really liked them. |

The shorts are really cute and the green color is nice, but the sizing runs a little small and the Reg length is really long. |

Sweet pack
12-28-07 ![]() |
This doesn't compare to any other pack. It's top notch! I trained both of my Aussies load carrying with a cheap Kelty pack. After the first desert trip the pack broke and left me carrying everything. This pack is perfect for the Utah desert. The internal water bladders are ideal for long hot sandy trudges. You'll never have to worry about your dogs finding the next water hole. The material is very, very strong and there's enough room for 6 beers on each side. Perfect! |

This probe is my best friend in the backcountry. It connects super fast and it's light weight. I will never go in the backcountry without it. |

perfect for backpacking
09-30-08 ![]() |
I love this stuff! It's prefect for a long backpack. Everything unfolds to fit flat in your pack. It's really easy to fold together and it basically doesn't weight anything. So worth it for the space you'll save. |

I love these socks, in fact they are the only socks I'm willing to backpack in. I've tried tons of other brands, but I always get a blister or 10. These socks are very soft and durable. |

I bought this chair for my friend for her birthday. I was so excited to give it to her, I had her set it up at my house so we could both try it out. All I have to say is this chair rules!! It's REALLY easy to set up and it packs down so small you could take it backpacking. I'm going to have to get one for myself! |

Perfect!
05-08-08 ![]() |
I've had my stove for over 5 years now. I do a ton of desert and mountain backpacking. The pocket rocket has never let me down. It's so light and compacted it can be easily stored in a water bottle pocket on a pack. In the winter it works well, just as long as the fuel stays warm. If it's cold enough it will sputter, but that's not the stoves' fault. |

After having two knee surgeries I thought it was time to buy a lighter pack, so I went with the Women's specific model. This is honestly the best purchase I've made in a long time. I can't say how much I love it. It's so light and comfortable. Thanks to Golite, I won't have to stop doing the things I love. |

great fit
09-25-08 ![]() |
I love this top. It fits greats and the little slit in the back adds a cute touch. I ordered a size small, usually I'm in between a medium and a small. The small fits great on the top, but it's pretty loose around the tummy. I could have ordered a XS and gotten away with it. |

Super Girl shoes!
08-22-07 ![]() |
These shoes are incredible. This is the second pair I've owned and I'm ready for my third. Super comfortable and sticky. I've done a ton of crazy bouldering in these shoes. After retiring my backpacking boots I wore these shoes on a whim during a 22 miles trip while carrying a 40lbs pack. Surprisingly they were more comfortable to hike in then my boots and I was a happy blister free camper. I recommend these shoes to all burly ladies |

The first time I put these on I knew right then these were going to be my favorite winter/back country pant. They fit really well, the inner fleece lining feels so good against your skin. I wish they came in more colors. I freaking love these pants!!! |

nice fit
09-15-08 ![]() |
I originally bought these to use as a board short when I'm feeling shy about showing off my legs. They dry really fast and they fit great. I love how they feel so much I bought another pair. Great for exercising in or as a casual short. I even wear mine to yoga, they really move with you, non-restricting. |

I love these capri pants. They move with you no matter what you're doing. I like to use mine for Yoga and climbing. I usually wear a size medium in Prana Casual pants (I like them a little big) I bought a small in these pants and they fit perfect. |

08-12-08 ![]() |
I love Prana products, BUT I must say these are not my favorite pants. They look much cuter in the picture then they actually are. They fit great, I just couldn't get over the unusual stitching. It looks like a stitch you'd see on a scarecrow. |

my fav
07-29-08 ![]() |
I would have to say that these are easily my favorite pair of pants in my Prana collection. They stretch for easy bouldering and climbing. After wearing them continuously on a three climbing trip I wore a tiny hole in one of the front pockets. I love these pants so much I want to get a couple pairs for every day and use my holey pair for climbing. |

cute but....
07-28-08 ![]() |
I love Prana pants, but there's something strange with the numeric sizes vs. the S, M,L sizing. I found that the numeric sizing runs small in the legs. The waist is true to size, but the legs are cut smaller then usual, then again I like to wear my pants a little 'baggy'. The Canvas pants are very well made and cute as hell. I'll just have to get used to the narrow legs. |

I've had my harness for over a year now and I must say it is one of my best buys. It's really comfortable. The only thing I wish was different is the waist 'belt' webbing. Like all Arc'Teryx it runs small. After I double back I only have an inch of extra webbing, I wish it was a tad longer. |

Is bigger better?
04-21-08 ![]() |
This pack is a lot larger then I expected. It's great to take to concerts and on day hikes, but it's a little to large to strap to my pack on multi-day back country trips/summit attempts. I'll just have to get another MULE for that. The back compartment has a nice long zipper for easy bladder removal/fill up. All in all I'm pleased with it. |

good beginning pack
05-03-07 ![]() |
I bought this pack to get my dog used to carrying his own load. The pack is pretty small and in one of the compartments there are small pockets. I feel that the pack would be better if they did away with the small internal pockets. I have never used them. The pack's fabric can easily rip on desert walls. After my dog was used to the pack I upgraded to something stronger. |

surprise of a life time
12-16-06 ![]() |
A couple years ago my husband and and I went on a very long backpack for my birthday. As I was pitching the tent my sneaky husband found a patch of snow to chill a bottle of champagne that he packed in. After dinner my husband pulled out two of these flutes and grabbed the chilled champagne. It was one of the best birthday surprises ever. Of course I had to give him crap of packing up a bottle of champagne, but it made a great birthday. |

This chair is actually very comfortable if you're 5 feet nothing. I've tried owning at least 5 of these things, but they always tend to break. After speaking with GCI, I found out that this chair is still in the "creation" process. It's a great idea, but I hope someday they finally get all of the bugs worked out. I would love to own one that won't break. |

This dish is great. I love how you're able to close off the top. It keeps the critters away, and it's easy to move around. |

Backpacking and winter camping with dogs can get tricky when you want to keep the food dry. These bags are perfect for the dog food. It keeps it dry even when the dogs jump into a lake with the packs on. |

Perfect for tents

I have an old The North Face tent. I have put that thing through more storms then most poeple have experienced outdoors. I use Nikwax spray every 6 months. The tent has never leaked, keeping me warm and dry. |

huge and easy

I was searching for a duffel that was huge. I was going on a long trip and pretty much needed all of my gear to fit into one bag. I decided to go with the XL. It's was perfect. |

nice
12-14-06 ![]() |
After looking at all of the women's watches and not finding one I liked, I decided to look at the kids. I have a tiny wrist so most watches look big and bulky, even women's. I really like the look of this watch especially in Green. It doesn't have any bells or whistles, just tells you the time. |

It fit!
12-14-06 ![]() |
At first I was scared to buy an adult size helmet because I have a tiny head. I usually have to go with a kids size. After reading great reviews about this helmet, I wanted to give it a try. I was so happy that it fit. I will never have to buy another kid's helmet again! |

Perfect for backpacking

This tent is perfect for backpacking. It's very light weight and very easy to pitch. I love all of the mesh. It's nice being surrounded by no see em mesh in a mosquito infested area. You can still see everything that's going on around you which out being eaten to death. |

PARTY tent
12-14-06 ![]() |
This tent is HUGE!!! It's perfect for throwing a keg on one side and passing out on the other side. The only thing I didn't like about the tent is the poles are very flimsy and will break if you're not careful. |

love to fall
12-14-06 ![]() |
I love to take this crash pad down to the Utah desert and boulder around. It's not as bulky as other pads making it less weight to carry around. The padding is soft yet stiff enough to take the pressure off of any fall. |

Lynx II Tandem Inflatable Kayak rules!!!
08-28-06 ![]() |
The Lynx II Tandem Inflatable kayak is ideal for people that don't have the ability to haul a 17 foot plastic kayak. This kayak is so compact that I was able to take it to the river in my VW rabbit. It's very easy to inflate/deflate. I rate this kayak 8 out of 10. |

I have the hardest time finding gloves that fit my tiny hands. Most of the time, I have to settle on gloves that have Powder Puff girls or some children's cartoon on them. These are so warm, I highly recommend them. |

| Therm-a-Rest LuxuryCamp Sleeping Pad This product is no longer available |
I'm on the ground
12-15-06 ![]() |
The Therm-A-rest self inflatable pad seems like a good idea, until you're in the backcountry and you wake up on a frozen ground. I keep telling myself that I really need to like this pad, but I just can't anymore. It has let me down..no pun intended..too many times. If it's not the valve letting out air it's a tiny puncture hole. I think I'm ready to try other non-inflating pads. |

You can never go wrong with The North face gear. This sleeping bag so warm and comfortable. It's so warm you don't want to get out of bed in the cold mornings. The lining is so comfortable on your skin. You actually get really hot if you zip two bags together |
